Fuck LocalBitcoins

Decided to use LocalBitcoins for the first time cause a lot of people here recommend it, fuck it. Verified my account real quick and found someone. Sent the dude money through PayPal and marked it complete. Waited for HOURS with little to no communication from him in a rush to complete a timed BTC transaction because I came up a little short. Then finally messaged me and said some shit about "we don't accept from fake IP addresses will be sending back." WTF that was said nowhere in his trade terms or instructions.. Now I'm fucked i guess cause my time is almost out smh

TLDR: Guy on LocalBitcoins fucked my time and transaction

EDIT: Finally got it from him, that took way too much time & effort

If you're gonna use LocalBitcoins, I highly recommend using the cash deposit option. Never buy Bitcoins with Paypal. The rates are terrible and Paypal sucks.

Thank you I will still be giving it a shot more in the future no doubt, so I will go with cash deposits from now on. I just used PayPal thinking it'd be faster but fuck was I wrong...lol
